Answer:

Statements Y and Z.

Explanation:

The Van der Waals equation is the next one:

nRT = (P + \frac{an^{2}}{V^{2}})(V -nb) (1)

The ideal gas law is the following:

nRT = PV (2)

<em>where n: is the moles of the gas, R: is the gas constant, T: is the temperature, P: is the measured pressure, V: is the volume of the container, and a and b: are measured constants for a specific gas.  </em>

As we can see from equation (1), the Van der Waals equation introduces two terms that correct the P and the V of the ideal gas equation (2),<u> by the incorporation of the intermolecular interaction between the gases and the gases volume</u>. The term an²/V² corrects the P of the ideal gas equation since the measured pressure is decreased by the attraction forces between the gases. The term nb corrects the V of the ideal gas equation, <u>taking into account the volume occuppied by the gas in the total volume, which implies</u> a reduction of the total space available for the gas molecules.          

So, the correct statements are the Y and Z: the non-zero volumes of the gas particles effectively decrease the amount of "empty space" between them and the molecular attractions between gas particles decrease the pressure exerted by the gas.            

Have a nice day!

Which compound is an isomer of propanoic acid (CH3CH2COOH)?
arlik [135]

Answer:

D) HCOOCH2CH3

Explanation:

An isomer of a compound is defined as a chemical substances with the same formula (That is, same atoms) but in different structures.

For propanoic acid, there are <em>3 atoms of C, 6 atoms of H and 2 atoms of oxygen.</em>

A) CH2CHCOOH . Here you have 3 atoms of C but 4 atoms of H. That means this compound is not an isomer.

B) CH3CH2CH2COOH . Here, there are 4 atoms of C. Thus, is not an isomer.

C) CH3CH(OH)CH2OH. This structure has 3 atoms of C, but 8 atoms of H. Thus, is not an isomer.

D) HCOOCH2CH3. Here, there are 3 atoms of C, 6 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. Thus, this structure <em>is an isomer of propanoic acid.</em>
